Private Equity specialist

Stefan Odeurs

With his entrepreneurial spirit, Stefan is as much a businessman as he is a lawyer. This approach gives him a key insight into understanding his clients’ true business needs and into developing solutions to suit them.

Today, he advises mainly private equity funds in relation to their investments in leveraged transactions and in expansion capital, and on their divestments (including by way of auction processes). His work also covers the formation and structuring of funds.

Stefan has assisted on a wide variety of local and cross-border transactions such as restructuring and turnaround projects, distressed investments, secondary buy-outs, etc. On numerous occasions, he has also represented the management (in both MBOs and MBIs).

To add to his extensive knowledge in law, Stefan holds a degree in both social and military sciences and applied economics.

Experience

Experience - Stibbe advised the shareholders of Punch Powertrain (an independent full system supplier of fuel efficient powertrains with headquarters in Sint-Truiden), which include GIMV, LRM, Capricorn, and PMV, and the management, in relation to the EUR 1 billion sale of their shares to the China based Yinyi Group.

Experience - Advising Lampiris and its reference shareholders throughout the auction process organized by BNP Paribas Fortis up to signing the legal documentation with Gimv and SRIW, the ultimate preferred bidders who invested together EUR 40 million in Lampiris.

Articles - Today, the Belgian tax administration has published a new circular letter (Circular letter 2017/C/21 dd. 13 April 2017) in relation to the tax treatment of stock options that are granted directly to managers (physical persons) who operate through a management company.

Articles - Traditionally, Belgian tax law has been rather flexible in accepting the tax deductible character of interest due on leveraged financing structures. Recent court decisions, however, seem to challenge this principle.
